[GZG] How to join the mailing list.

_______________________________________________
Gzg-l mailing list
Gzg-l@mail.csua.berkeley.edu
http://mail.csua.berkeley.edu:8080/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lI only just
rejoined the list after a few years, and it wasn't as easy as I
expected.

1. I started by going to http://www.groundzerogames.net/ expecting to
see
"Mailing list" either on the left bar or under "Contact Us" or
"Community"
(MIA).

2. I then searched for "GZG Mailing list" and found the instructions at
http://www.stargrunt.ca/ref_info/gzg_mailing_lists/gzg_mailing_lists.htm
which
I thought I remembered was out of date due to a migration from majordomo
to
mailman a while back, but I tried anyway, and received the inevitable
bounce.

3. I then navigated through the list archives at
http://lists.firedrake.org/gzg/ , picked a random message (which
happened to
be Michael Hudak's "Greetings of the Season"), and clicked on the link
included at the bottom of every post:
http://mail.csua.berkeley.edu:8080/mailman/listinfo/gzg-l

Seriously, as a FLOSS developer, any project that made it as hard to
join
the mailing list as GZG seems to make it would be doomed from the
outset. If
I hadn't lurked previously and consequently known there was this
incredible,
diverse community hidden _somewhere_, I would have given up at step 2
assuming that the community, ruleset, and entire GZG universe was
defunct.

If the maintainers of the various primary websites out there could
update
their mailing list instructions I would appreciate  it. Purely selfish I
know, but I consider the GZG community one of the hidden gems of the
internet, and I'd love to be able to enjoy it for a long time to come.
